WOW shes flowering fast!

[QuantumChronic]

That's a funky looking reflector. But hey if its doing its job that's all that matters. And your girl is looking lovely.

Its hella funky haha made it last night medicated out of my freakin mind. I also use the y splitter. There are 5 lights underneath that reflector. I measured a couple dimensions wrong and didn't connect the end pieces of the reflector to the side piece like I want but it seems to be working well lol

It should make a difference. Even though it looks funky, it looks like you got those lights in the situated good to where I can see a lot of light being penetrated down. So you don't know if those are cool white or warm white CFL's? Im so Stoned right now can't remember if you said they were. Watching the Dallas game and smoking some OG Kush. Very Medicated indeed

Hell yeah I tivo'd the dallas game so don't leak ne thing about it hahaha they are 2700k lights the right ones lol spent $20 @ home depot yesterday for 2 42 watt bulbs. I have some browines and some decent bud so I am also medicated well lol I just watered cause its been 5 days and add some nute as well.

Cool, Those 42 wats are bright for there size. Thats why I like using CFL's for vegging/clones. Very cheap and low heat. I save the HPS for flowering.

Alright I wont say nuttin. Im a Dallas Fan

Nutes are good. I have used several lines. Foxfarm was the nutes I used for a long time. But I like Advanced. Its really expensive though so I tend to stick with Fox Farm. Even though the Phosphorus on there Solubles are way to high. It does get the job done. There are many good nute companies out there but I go with what fits my budget. Sometimes I spoil myself and go with Advanced, but not as often as I would like.

its hard to believe how much your plant has grown this past week Quantum. she filled out nicely. i like how there are openings on your reflector. it seems like the heat would be able to escape better like that! i have the worst luck with reptiles. i like having them but i have troubles mainting them lol..... escape issues......im using fox farm nutes as well...for veg. i use schulz 10-15-10 and for flower im using FF Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom. no soluables though. my local hydro store has the whole line but i wanted to start small with this grow.thanks for the compliments. if i was working i would have a lot nicer set up but since im broke all the time i cant get the things i would like to. im gonna check out that new strain your talkin about when i get done here. ive been researching hps lights and i found one that comes with a MH conversion bulb. its a decent price. i would like to go with that one...... u guys use a vaporizer any... i bought one off ebay for $70. its one of those box ones but i love it and it gets me high as helll.....

 

[QuantumChronic]

My vap broke in the first week of using cause I smoke so much hahaha damn cowboys lost and yeah I'm excited for this plant. Hoping everyday its a female lol

 

[rsharp]

damn less than a week. that fuckin sucks.. i would like to get a volcanoe. but dont we all. maybe next go around you can get some feminized seeds...

I'm hoping to get some fem seeds but was looking for recommendations of strains for cfl and lst growing style. I got the money to order some just so many to choose from lol

 

[Kratose]

Yeah its better to start off that way. As you get more experienced you can start using additives. Advanced has a huge lineup. Costs big money though. But they also have a Hobbyist Pack. All the essentials are in it.

Yeah I use vaporizers. There are all types. I tried the little pipe ones. They are not the best. But there are some really machine vaps.

Yeah dude don't get me started. IF they didn't have 12 penalties in a game and 3 turnovers they would of had it. They had more rushing yards, More time of possession. Dallas is a great team, great defense, they are just undisciplined. They have to start winning games.

I would rather buy Unfeminized seeds, but Greenhouse does not sell them. The reason why I rather do this is because when you create feminized seeds, you stress the female to hermie, usually by flowering her a few weeks longer then she should be. She will develop a male banana. You take the male banana and save the pollen. Then take a flowering female of the same strain, and pollenate her, Because the pollen came from a female that Hermied, The hermie gene has been activated, so you no longer have the same exact genetic makeup of the original strain. Feminized seeds tend to hermie, because that hermie gene was activated.

Regular seeds you might have a 50/50 percent female to male ratio, but you don't have to worry about hermies as much unless they were severely stressed.

But I do buy Feminized seeds, I just wish I could by a regular seeds of White Widow, Or White Rhyno.

I do not have the room to buy then plant 10 regular seed and flower them, I have room for 5 maybe 6 plants. I've heard as long as you don't stress the feminized seeds to bad there isn't much need to worry (but I could be wrong) if my bush girl indeed is a girl can't I take clones from the bottom of her during flowering once she shows sex?

 

[QuantumChronic]

Also do you recommend any strains for cfl/lst growing?

 

[rsharp]

i bought some femd. seeds from nirvana. thats what im growing now. funny thing is i ordered a 5 pack, got them in a week... i sent nirvana an email saying the seeds diddnt sprout and they sent me another 5 pack for free.... i got them on reserve..... im halfway through that video kratose. thats some cool shit!

 

[rsharp]

i just finished the video. that was great. its pretty cool how they travel the world in search of these strains. i think it is funny how the cops in india think alcohol is safer than weed. some peoples lives depend on this plant. without it they would have nothing. i would love to make some [hand] hash. they made it look easy but with endless supplies of pot it prolly is easy. thanks for sharing this with me. if u have any more post the links!!!.

 

[mimmen]

How's it going guy's? I've been reading all the posts in this thread, good stuff. I'm a first time flowering, third time growing. Did alot of learning to get to this point. My girls are 15 days into flower. Normally I wouldnt post pictures in someone else's thread, but you guys seem to be pretty care free. The strain is mango from BC Seed King. I like BC seed king because they don't sell feminised seeds.

 

[rsharp]

Hey mimmen hows it goin. ive got to say those are some really nice looking plants. we should be harvesting around the same time! i just watched a video that Kratose posted and they talked a lot about bud smellin like mango. could be the same strain! im very care free.(except when someone wants to move in. l like my space!) so what happened to your first grows? feel free to come in here and post pics ask questions. +rep.

 

[mimmen]

Thanks rsharp. My first grow was a disaster, I didnt do enough research and had ph problems. My second grow was going good, but I started traveling for work. I was only gone tuesday thru thursday, and i could of kept it going but I didnt like the stress of wondering if my lights blew up while i wasnt home. Now I'm in a better place and can grow to my hearts desire. I built a veg cabinet that might be of interest to you It's all cfls and works great.

 

[QuantumChronic]

Alright I wasn't planning on bending her over today but she seemed rdy here a couple before and after pics. She grew a lot over night, thinking the home made "hood" is working well.

 

[rsharp]

thats very nice grow box mimmen. i like the exhaust fan you have. i would like to get one similar to that. my room is very stinky already and i know its just gonna get worse. im gonna tough it out this grow and hopefully ill have one in tme for the next.

Damn Quantum i cant even tell witch one's the main cola. there is no holding her back now shes ready to go. your reflector is gettin the job done well. let the flowering begin!!

love your dog mimmen. i dont think i could live without animals. my bird larry just died a few weeks ago. i really diddnt think i would get upset when he went but now i miss him waking me up every morning. here goes a pic of my dog cooper. hes a trip. right now im teaching him to walk on the treadmill.
